Just regular life rolling on over here. I saw this over at Betsey's new thread, and wanted to explore it a bit more - H2H, can I say just how apt your observations sometimes are?
Quote: I was re-reading The Dance of Connection this week, and the following sentences struck me as particularly relevant for me, you, GBO and well, many others of us here, all in slightly different ways:
"We can never know the totality or full potential of other people (or what they "should be" for that matter), but who they are with us has something to do with who we are with them. Through our conversations, we unwittingly enlarge or diminish the potentials and possibilities of everyone around us.
I'm finding that this coupled with the adage Bets has been advocating often to me, that one person can change the dynamic, is having some subtle yet profound changes in the way NG and I relate to each other. He is genuinely stepping up to the plate and taking leadership for 'us' things - for the first time in a long, long time, he is organising the details of our next holiday Its a task that I used to do for fear that if left to him, it'll all be at the last minute and we'll be paying well over the odds. Now that I've let go that fear, and I guess he can see from my actions that I've let go, he is stepping in. Good stuff
Today, I shall be working from home. Off to the salon at lunch time. Out to dinner with some out-of-town colleagues, NG is coming along. Should be fun, no expectations on my side, just going with the flow.
